Replace the background with a softly blurred modern office in warm neutral tones. Use soft studio key light with gentle fill, subtle rim light, an 85mm portrait lens look, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on the eyes, realistic skin texture, natural color grading, and high-resolution professional photography. Square 1:1 composition for a LinkedIn profile photo.
